SoothSoft.com is maker of one of the most innovative dog beds around - the Canine Cooler®.

As the name implies, the Canine Cooler® is a bed which helps your pet keep cool. Unlike cooling mats which need to be soaked in water before each use, you only fill the Canine Cooler® with water the first time you use it - a process which takes about 15 minutes. It is dry to the touch and has no fabric dyes to stain your dog's coat. The overall feeling is sort of like a gel mattress. Most dogs (including mine, who will squeeze their bodies into impossibly small corners of their crates to avoid lying on the other type of cooler mat) find it very comfortable to lie on!

What makes this product truly unique is that as long as it is not exposed to direct sunlight, the Canine Cooler® maintains its cooling properties, never getting warm like other products!

To avoid risk of heat stroke, you should avoid exposing your dog to extremely hot temperatures, but the Canine Cooler® is a great product for dogs who participate in dog sports events in warmer seasons and is also helpful for dogs with medical conditions such as Cushings disease.
